We're back... I think... x)

Okay, finally I've worked up the determination to post here once more :D Well, as you've no doubt read, we've been really busy with projects, tests and various other stuff. However, to be honest, I'd also run out of things to comment on (in my oh-so-neutral way) since we'd covered nearly every aspect of Ms Chen et al already.

Anyway, reading the comments I felt spurred to at least come up with a token post, so here it is (:

To start off, this is going to be about her friendster(s). [The one she linked was at http://profiles.friendster.com/celestechen7] The first thing that struck me was the colour scheme, then the picture/intro and finally, everything else. The big question is: why does anyone need 7 friendster accounts in the first place? (I'm not sure about the number, but...)

I think it was in the Sunday Times a couple of week back, where the reporter classified a few kinds of Facebook users, one of which was the "Face Collector". What's the point of having a few thousand 'friends', most of which you've never met, or met only once? It's a kind of self-assurance thing, I guess, just to prove to yourself (and *legasp* everyone else) that you're as popular as you think you are. I have to admit, I myself do add second degree friends on occasion, if I meet them at some outing or other with mutual friends. The indiscriminate adding, however, is nothing if not completely useless and retarded.

Moving on, I found the colour scheme of her 7th friendster page extremely glaring. Red and black isn't a bad combination, mind... but top that up with the big red girl, the glaring white adverts and her cam-whored pictured, and gosh. One of the first principles of blogging or any other internet media is ease of reception. What's the point of having your own website if you make you pictures teeny, your words amputated and your english broken until all the kings horses and all the kings men...

In this case, the red, black and white aren't remotely attractive or patriotic, and the only time it can be described as eye catching is if you qualify that more as a gouging or raping of your visual receptors. Forgive the bimbotic language; Glare: much.

Next, if I hadn't been reading her occasionally for the past couple of months, the impression I would have gotten from her blog would be slutty. Camwhoring is all fine and dandy in some cases, but not when you sluttify yourself (multiple times) and slap it all over the internet. It's kind of a turn-off, contrary to whatever she may think, because it gives a really bad impression. Oh yes, and don't forget the wonderful bio-summary: "Lick it up,lick it down, lick it all the way around." (Nuff said)

Looking at her profile was even worse, because I personally felt it was a stain on the Singaporean image. I'm no patriotic saint, government agent nor idealistic do-good. However, just reading those few lines of text made me want to hide my face in shame for outsiders who read it. Let us take a look at what she wrote..

Schools(Other):
Light house, St Hilda's Primary, WRPS, Celeste Rocks Secondary :D [The day such a school comes into existence, I swear I will migrate.]


Occupation:

Xubin's girlfriend :D [Even me, in all my hormone-crazed teenaged years know that there is more to life than posing and getting laid. If her only value is in being a consort, I have to apologise on behalf of the Feminist movement, because it's likely they don't have drills long enough to get through her skull. On the other hand, maybe it's just her.]

Hobbies and Interests:

Dancing, Playing the piano, Painting my pretty nails, Making pretty things, Jumping around in circles, Tapping someone's shoulder and running away, Rolling on the floor, Cam-whoring, Coughing at tiven's face, Dance the chicken dance while showering

[Ye gods, a lot to say over here, but most of it you can probably guess. Even yours truly, who is very susceptible to flashes of childish nostalgia, has the decency not to flash myself to the world. It is now partially explained why so much makeup is needed for Ms Chen's use, since her skin is unnaturally thick.]

Favorite Books:

Powerpuff girls [:

[Again, we view her monstrous intellect. I don't have any issue with people of average IQ or below at all (in fact it's mostly those with high IQs I tend to argue with), but this is just a disgrace, no? I think my toddler nephew has a more enriching range of reading material than this.]


Favorite Movies:

Mean girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen [No prizes for guessing where she gets her role models from]


Favorite Music:

Linsay Lohan, Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, Fergie, Christina Aguilera, Girls Aloud, Blink 182, Pussycat Dolls, Danity Kane, Pink, Paris Hilton, Sean Paul, Stacie Orrico, McFly, Mika, Mandy Moore, Nelly Furtado, Tatu, Good Charlotte, Backstreet Boys, Atomic Kittens, Kelly Clarkson, Cascada, Cassie, Hilary Duff, Akon, M2m, A*Teens, Missy Elliot, Gwen Stefani, Black Eyed Peas, Shakira & Many more.

[Pop artistes, by and large. Not a bad lot, I like some of their songs, but to be devoted wholesale to each and every 'up and coming' name for the past couple of years says much about the malleability of the subject. Try something that hasn't been audio-slutted into your ears, for once.]

Zodiac Sign:

Aries


About Me:

Lick it up,
lick it down,

lick it all the way around. [Nothing to be said here.]

Who I Want to Meet:

For you I'm a fanatic.
I'm an addict.

Your sexy antics turn me on like automatic, No need to get dramatic.
But I gotta have it.

Lets get dirrrty
It sounds so good ;)

[I don't know where she got this, but it sounds like song lyrics. Again, the choice of words speaks volumes.]


Oh, and she's a member in two groups I LOVE CC and I HATE CC. Bipolar or split personality? I think not. More like self-obsession.

Overall, the friendster(s) gave me a really bad impression of her, despite my wonderfully neutral stance :D What's the moral of the story? Please don't be like her, for the good of your image, and that of our oh-so-fine country x)

I hope that's managed to sate you guys somewhat, or at least raise an issue. Either ways, I tried my best >< Do feel free to propose (intellectual!) topics on her that can be commented on, to aid us in our search for things to write about. On the other hand, please no pure flamers and such, because we don't want this blog to catch fire entirely, now do we?

EDIT: I nearly forgot. Flamers, please refer to J's list of explanations in an earlier post. No, we're not all girls.

Smiles, (happy Sept hols)
